Types of Sleep Apnea and Treatment Options

There are two types of sleep apnea. Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) is a neurological condition where the brain temporarily fails to signal your involuntary muscles to breathe. CSA is usually treated with medications and the use of a CPAP machine.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is when the muscles in the back of the throat relax and sag into the airway, creating an obstruction. OSA can be treated with a CPAP machine. However, many patients have found superior relief with devices custom designed by our dentist. Oral appliances maintain the proper position of the jaw bone, tongue, and throat muscles, so they do not collapse during slumber and interfere with breathing.

Symptoms and Health Risks of Sleep Apnea

Many people cannot remember the interruptions they experienced while asleep, but they may have some tell-tale signs of sleep apnea. If your family members notice loud snoring or gasping while you sleep or you wake-up with a headache or dry mouth, you could have sleep apnea. Fatigue, irritability, and difficulty focusing are also signs that may be attributed to this condition.

Sleep apnea is known to contribute to many serious health conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and obesity. When deprived of the deep sleep that rejuvenates and repairs the body, your health is placed in serious jeopardy.

Dr. Privatsky can walk you through the process of finding solutions to your poor sleeping patterns. He also designs therapeutic devices that comfortably treat your sleep apnea so that you can rest peacefully.

Testimonials

It has been my distinct pleasure to be a patient of Dr. Bruce Privatsky DDS for quite some time and I feel I have finally found the quintessential dentist for me.

I am someone who has had a lifetime of bad teeth and very extensive dental work. This has left me with phobias and a distinct aversion to all things dental. Only extreme pain that would bring me to my knees would force me to seek help.

It was my very lucky day when I was referred to Dr. Privatsky. As was my usual approach, I was very leery of what to expect and I dreaded going to yet another dentist for torture. What a pleasant surprise awaited me! Dr. Privatsky listened, really listened to my concerns and experiences. He answered every question I posed and then gently and professionally examined my teeth. He then sat down with me and outlined the work that needed to be down and the treatment plan.

Through all the work that needed to be done, my faith and belief in Dr. Privatsky grew in leaps and bounds! His work was absolutely professional and of the highest quality. His touch is delicate and he makes certain that his patient is always comfortable.

Recently I was involved in an accident and injured my teeth. Dr. Privatsky immediately responded to my problems and helped me through the entire episode. He followed through by personally calling me to check on how I was doing. This helped me to feel more secure during a traumatic time.

I highly recommend and commend Dr. Privatsky for being the consummate professional that he is, as well as being a very caring individual which is evident in his dealing with his patients.

Thank you Dr. Privatsky for reinstalling my trust in the dental profession through your actions.

A very grateful patient, Sophia Kaspar
